577 itemsWelcome to Duke University Libraries, Utopian Literature
The Glenn R. Negley Collection of Utopian Literature in Duke University’s David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library contains over 900 works, dating from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. The collection includes utopias and dystopias, works which, according to Dr. Negley, "use the device of a fictional society or state to present views of an ideal (utopian) or less than ideal (dystopian) value structure," especially focused on the political functioning of the fictional community. Texts in English, from the United States and Great Britain, predominate, but there are also significant numbers of works in German, French, and Spanish.Browse by Subject / KeywordsAll items (most recently added first) -
